This is a story which talks about lover, but when you stared to read this book or almost finish the story, you can find that there is less to talk about love between characters. No matter the girl's mother to her children or the girl to the man. They all talk about hate people more than love.
The girl did not like her mother who can not let her heart safety and soul clear. As same as her mother, her mother hates the girl unless the girl can earn money to feed her family. In another words, she hates her mother in her whole memory. Her mother, a French school principal, just like her sons and ignore her only draught. In the story, the girl did not use any good words to describe her mother. In the girl’s eyes, her mother was always a loser and looses her mind in her whole life. At the end of her mother’s life, she was finally crazy. The girl was look upon on all the behavior of her mother. She feel very lonely when she was young, because she lose her listener who maybe was a best friend in her life was her mother.
The girl did not like her oldest brother. She was not at one time to tell us that how disgusting when she remember her biggest brother. She wanted to kill him not only one times. However, she maybe likes her second brother. I think she was not really like her second brother, who she was just sympathy. The reason why she was not hate him was that he was the only one the weak in the family. Her oldest brother likes to bail him. She could not trust any one in her family. She then hate everyone in her family.
Therefore, she always wanted to find place or people to put down her soul or to release her depressed. There is no one can help her to break loose the tie. Therefore, she choose to sink low. Let her body separate with her soul. She let her body dirty and make her soul clear.

The Writer----Marguerite Donnadieu
Marguerite Donnadieu, better known as Marguerite Duras (French pronunciation: [maʁɡəʁit dyˈʁas]) (4 April 1914 – 3 March 1996) was a French writer and film director.She was born at Gia-Dinh, near Saigon, French Indochina (now Vietnam), after her parents responded to a campaign by the French government encouraging people to work in the colony.Duras's early novels were fairly conventional in form (their 'romanticism' was criticised by fellow writer Raymond Queneau); however, with Moderato Cantabile she became more experimental, paring down her texts to give ever-increasing importance to what was not said. She was associated with the Nouveau roman French literary movement, although she did not belong definitively to any group. Her films are also experimental in form; most eschew synchronized sound, using voice over to allude to, rather than tell, a story; spoken text is juxtaposed with images whose relation to what is said may be more-or-less indirect.
Despite her success as a writer, Duras's adult life was also marked by personal challenges, including a recurring struggle with alcoholism. Duras died of throat cancer in Paris, aged 81. She is interred in the Cimetière du Montparnasse.

The Lover
The primary characters are known only as The Young Girl and The Chinese Man. The daughter of bitter, fearful, poverty-stricken colonials, she is a pretty waif who likes to wear an old silk dress and a man's fedora and paint her lips bright red when out of her mother's sight. She hates everything about her existence — her teachers, her fellow students, and most of all her depraved, dysfunctional family. The son of a Chinese businessman whose fortune was made in real estate, he recently has returned from Paris after dropping out of school. He has the look but lacks the self-assurance of the playboy he fancies himself to be, and he is mesmerized the first time he sees her standing by the rail on a crowded ferry crossing the Mekong River.
He offers her a ride to Saigon in his chauffeur-driven limousine and she accepts, although the two barely speak during the drive. The Girl gives her age at the beginning of the film as 15½, but lies to The Chinese Man by stating that she is 18. The following day, he waits for her outside her boarding school, and the two go to the room he rents for entertaining mistresses in the seedy Chinese quarter, where they make love. Afterward she confesses she doesn't care for Chinese people, and he retaliates by telling her he could not marry her because she no longer is a virgin. Thus begins a tempestuous affair both know will not last. She is scheduled to return to Paris. He is expected to engage in an arranged marriage with a Chinese heiress. Aware of the limited time they have together, they fall into a relationship in which they shed all responsibilities that come with commitment.
